My lightweight spacefaring RPG, Offworlders, is available now as a PWYW PDF. It’s based on World of Dungeons but expanded a bit, and in space.
Get it:

I’m stoked for Symbaroum tomorrow, run by Darren Brockes. My character, Variol Hope, is a bloodthirsty witchhunter with a bestial affliction from one of her previous hunts and carries a gunmetal grey shadow. She is not to be fucked with~ although, of course in the game she will be more heavily attired.
I have to say the character creation process for the game was excellent. I have a number of interesting burdens that add mechanized backstory elements, I feel like Variol is already very cool and there’s a lot to work toward, both in the fiction as well as things I want to purchase with XP in the future.

The Year in Horror RPGs 2017
The Year in Horror RPGs 2017
This Halloween on The Gauntlet Blog I’ve belatedly decided to look at Horror RPGs published in 2017.

I like to wait until late in the year to see how the previous year’s releases have shaken out. I focused on core rules with a print version or a pdf of 100+ pages or so. Items have a small summary and/or minimal commentary. DTRPG has sale prices on this, the last day of their Spooky Games Sale 2018.
1000 Arrows: Questions, questions, questions
1000 Arrows: Questions, questions, questions
When this Kickstarter was announced, it started generating questions on the Gauntlet Slack. Concerns about cultural sensitivity, the Korean stretch goal, why try for a historical RPG if you’ve got magic, etc. Considering how these questions could apply to so many games in development by our members, I wanted to bring this out here for a wider discussion. If we’re lucky, Brennan Taylor and James Mendez Hodes , the designers of this game, will chime in with the hows and whys.
Full disclosure: I’ve played 1000 Arrows with Brennan running it as part of Gauntlet Con, and I played in the cyber skin of this at Dexcon with Mendez running it. I’ve also talked with both of them about their designs on other projects and have been impressed with the thought that has gone into their works, and their openness to questions and critique.

I’ve written a very silly one-shot scenario (for any ruleset) for Halloween and run it a couple of times for friends. You play candidates in a contest to be Dracula’s new bride.
I decided to tart it up a little and release it. Hope it’s ok to post about it here – I would very much welcome feedback. It’s one thing to jot down some notes for yourself, and another to give guidance in writing on how to run such a thing.
The free version is on my blog (https://mottokrosh.com/posts/2018/10/a-bride-for-dracula/), and a nicely laid out PDF with a little extra art is on DriveThruRPG (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/256689/A-Bride-for-Dracula?src=gp1).

Jason Cordova, is it OK to advertise for players for a new FtF campaign in the Houston area?
